Positive Atmosphere and Accommodating Staff

I came by for breakfast with a friend this morning and ordered the full breakfast - subbed the bacon out with potatoes, it was great that the staff were able to accommodate me! The service is great. The food is good as well as the coffee - it’s a nice breakfast/coffee shop.

Highlights

  • Delicious Brunch Options: Came for Brunch and ordered full breakfast, with smoked sausage, fresh butter beans and side pancakes. Breakfast was fairly standard but delicious, but the real star was the pancakes. Must try. Also ordered a few lattes which were ok nothing to write home about, and weirdly came in a tall water glass instead of a mug. Wife also ordered a mimosa, which never came, disappointing. Overall pretty decent spot, not a ton of seating but quaint and cozy.
  • Great Cappuccino and Tasty Food: The atmosphere, staff, music, food and overall experience were good. Cozy Mediterranean cafe / restaurant with strong cappuccino and tasty dishes like the Mushroom & cheese peinirli made with cheese and portobello mushroom. A good experience overall!
  • Satisfying Vegan and Meat Options: I had their vegan breakfast wrap and it was pretty good. My partner got the full breakfast with Greek sausage, he loved them! Despite a minor mixup, the staff handled it well and all was fine in the end.
  • Simple Yet Delicious Sausage Breakfast: Delicious sausage breakfast sandwich! So simple, yet so delicious! Friends also loved their meals. The separating plexi glass made it feel really safe for us, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back again!
